Event 17 (Day 1A): Bracelets Of The Gold-Kind

Level 1 (Blinds 50/100)
Total Entries: 28

Cliff Goldkind (Potomac, MD)
There are a handful of "heroes" in the intimate field at the moment, with collective tournament earnings in play of over $5,000,000.  Of the players in the field, there is only one with a WSOP bracelet, and that is Cliff Goldkind (Potomac, MD).

Goldkind won Event # 19 of the 2012 WSOP ($1,500 No Limit Hold'em), earning himself $559,514.  He bested a final table that hosted the likes of Barry Shulman and David Peters, eventually beating notable tournament pro Kenni Nguyen heads up.

Cliff has since recieved a degree from graduate school (just months ago), and is now concentrating on his poker career.  His most recent score came last week when he won Event 11 ($230 No Limit Hold'em) of this series.
